Creator's Key Takeaways

I learned the hard way that Carnival Firenze does not sail out of the San Pedro / Los Angeles port — it actually departs from Long Beach.

I definitely don't want y'all to make the same mistake that I made cuz I booked this hotel thinking that the cruise ship I can just walk on down the street to get on.

Please book your hotel in Long Beach close to the actual Carnival Firenze cruiseport to definitely save you some money.

This is my first time ever cruising out of here and I just realized I did not even say who I was.
